Outsourcing experiences to your mobile phone
Sander Veenhof (1973, NL)
creates works that reflect on our usage of digital technology.
In a time of increasing virtualisation of our social life, ultra fast networks, unlimited amounts of instant data and information but an unfortunate lack of time and concentration to absorb it all, Veenhof seeks a solution not by speeding up or digitizing, but by adding the impracticality and slowness of a physical interface to the digital systems we love to use these days. Browsing Youtube videos by showing objects to a (crowdsourced) camera or navigating Google Earth by climbing a ladder. The resulting installations require us to put an effort into using them, or be very patient, as with the Google Analytics installation representing web-traffic statistics in the shape of digitally raised plants. Anno 2010, these requirements might seem silly and unneccesary, but in return of the investments comes a more profound experience. As proven by the Mobile Thrill machine currently operating at the World Expo in Shanghai. The thrill of having to wait one minute while you mobile phone is inside a machine, recording its experience, adds up to the thrill of seeing what exciting minute your phone witnessed, while you stood besides the machine waiting, thrilled to recieve back much cared for device. |
